She was the epitome of casual and relaxed.
Just walking from the dormitory gate to the corner, she drew the gaze of everyone around her.
The not-so-bright street lights cast shaking tree shadows on the ground.
The moon hung high above the treetops, so faint it was nearly indiscernible.
"Did Grandpa make you new clothes?" Jiang Fulai asked, eyeing the garment she wore that he hadn't seen before.
The clothes had been brought over by Ji Heng from Xiangcheng last time.
Looking down at the turquoise vine on her dress, Bai Lian replied simply, "Mhm."
Before she could finish, Jiang Fulai wrapped his left arm around her waist from behind, his long, strong fingers clasped at her side, drawing her close, "Congratulations on the new semester."
"Have you finished work?" Bai Lian touched his slightly cool fingers with her fingertips.
"Sort of," Jiang Fulai quietly embraced her for a moment before asking, "Have you eaten dinner?"
"I had dinner at Grandpa's before coming here."
